Export Client Configuration

[michaelkaesdorf]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There might be some situation that you want to backup your client configuration. Or you want to import it in the future again, or somewhere else.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have an opportunity to export a client configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe a more complex export button would be nice that would either enable a) copying to the clipboard or b) downloading the current client configuration.

Additional context

I prepared a PR for this feature: #198 , furthermore I am preparing another feature request for importing client configurations. (edit: here is the feature request #199)

Hey @rosenbach - that is great idea, I fully agree that we need something like this.
What about also import feature? I thing we need also add some version into export json file, for import feature as well.

Sorry, I missed your issue #199. Would be great if you've already worked on the import feature and you can send a PR. 👍

Hi @skoruba
thanks for your anwers
Can you specify what you mean with we need some version in the export json file? You mean a versioning of the exported client configuration?

Regarding the import feature:
as you already mentioned, I created a seperate issue (#199) for that. I already see quite some value by having the export button. The import feature is not so trivial when thinking about how to make a viable minimal version of the feature. We can gladly discuss this in the other issue.

Exactly, I thought the export would contain a version of the client configuration and we can add some conditions in the future in case the data structure changes.
